InDesign copy changes, Acrobat Reading order missing tags.

Using MacOS High Sierra V 10.13.6.

Previous files, InDesign 2018 Export Adobe PDF Interactive Passed the checker.
Duplicate the pdf and rerun the checker and it passes.

Same file open in newer version InDesign 2019 Export Adobe PDF Interactive fails. This tells me the problem is with Indesign 2019.

This is happening with all my files. If I take a new Indesign file with no interactive functions and create them in InDesign 2019 everything passes.

Indesign file attached with good pdfs and if you export the same Indesign file and run the accessibility checker it will fail in 2019 InDesign.

In all previous versions of Illustrator and InDesign, when saving a PDF, I have been able to set my PDF settings to convert all text to outlines by checking "Convert All Text To Outlines" in my Adobe PDF preset. Since my recent update to 23.0.3, this feature is no longer working properly. The setting is still an option, however, upon save/export of the PDF, text is not converted to outlines as it previously was.

I have reached out to customer support for this issue and have been informed that this issue is "expected behavior of the software".

How is this issue considered “expected behavior” when:

1) Setting Adobe PDF presets and Transparency Flattener presets to "convert text to outlines" is a feature of the software
2) It has worked flawlessly in ALL previous versions of Illustrator and InDesign

This is a pretty common practice that designers use when creating print documents. Most printers require all text to be outlines when receiving project files. It is very time consuming to manually change all text to outlines when you're working with a 100+ page project file. This feature, which I and countless others use on a daily basis, prevents the error of accidentally saving over a working file as well as saving time when preparing documents for print.

If this feature (which is still showing as a feature in the current version) has been removed, I deeply implore you to bring this feature back.

Dear InDesign Folks,

We've found some font style attribute changed in PDF file, another one issue is Ligature text missed out at PDF file.

Application: InDesign CC 2015.0 Version 11.0.
Windows: 7 & 10 Pro

Steps & Process:
1. We are generating 2 set of PDF with different Job-options.

1. PAP Layer enabled PDF (i.e., particular layer enabled and creating the PDF, it's contains Images and Text like water mark).




2. PRINT Layer disabled PDF (i.e., disabled the layer which we enabled in step 2).




3. Using JavaScript generating 2 sets of PDF at a time.




4. PRINT, disabled layer and generating PDF with particular InDesign Export Job-options.




5. PAP, enabled layer and generating PDF with particular InDesign Export Job-options.

PAP PDF file showing the font style in automatically changed in (Bold or Italic and Size looks tiny).

PRINT PDF file we didn't face any issues.

Can anyone suggest how to sort out this issue in forthcoming days.

Ligature text missing we faced first time this issue, I searched the bug forum, it's already shared the issue.

Here, I attached the snapshot for your perusal.

Thanks for your Kind Support!!!

My Case Number: ADB-6422050-V1R6

I've been exporting a document which uses the bevel/emboss effect. Part of the element is outside of the frame of the document. The effect on the part of the element outside the frame is being moved into the frame when I export it into a PDF. In the screenshot, you will see that in InDesign, the yellow pad is completely yellow on the left inside the frame of the document, but the edge of the image outside the frame is white; when you view in preview mode you don't see the white. However, in the screenshot of the PDF, you will see white on the left edge of the yellow pad, which does not appear in InDesign. There's no reason for it to be in the PDF.

Thank you.

I am using InDesign CC 2019 14.01 x64.

Once a stroke weight has been added, if you then change the stroke weight back to zero, then when you export to pdf the pdf will have a stroke weight added to the text, even though the indesign document looks correct. It may not have the original amount of weight that was added, but it will definitely have what looks to be around a .2 weight added.

However, if you were to start a new document, then add stroke weight, then click edit - undo stroke weight, then it would export to pdf just fine. However if you saved the document with the stroke weight added, and then re-opened and changed the weight to zero, then when you export to pdf it will have a stroke weight still added (around .2, same as above).

So once you have saved a document with the stroke weight added, then no matter what you do the document will not print without the added weight.

If ANYBODY has any idea how to fix this then PLEASE let me know :) I was on chat for 4 hours but no luck. I'm really not trying to redo this 600 page book.

Since the last update Indesign export to pdf in all resolutions don't compact the files down. They are huge. Everything up to the last update pdfs even if high resolution would size way down. Now it is almost like it doesn't do anything. Need this fixed. It is almost like the coders for Illustrator went over to Indesign to put in their bad pdf export routine. Illustrator has never compacted pdfs well ever!. I demand that the pdf export get fixed pronto and put back the way it was. Sending pdfs by email is now useless. I shouldn't have to put up two page documents into dropbox because I can't email them. The last file I compacted was a two page document with one two pictures and it made the file even with medium resolution size 25mb, and smallest file size 8mb. This file before the last update would have been 800kb. I don't know why you keep mucking about with things that work and introduce things that don't.

Using InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1

I have a 24 page report designed for print, with an additional layer which when visible adds interactive buttons to the top left corner of each page so I can also export an interactive PDF. The buttons are:

Go to previous page
Go to next page
Go to destination linking to the contents page

The document also contains URL hyperlinks and the contents links to each section of the report using bookmarks, but is not set up as a TOC. I'm not using any functions under the SWF/EPUB only section.

When exported as an interactive PDF the Next Page, Previous Page, contents bookmarks and URL hyperlinks all work as expected, but the contents button using Go to Destination appears to do nothing.

I tried using a bookmark, hyperlink destination and text anchor and none worked in Go to Destination once exported. I also tried both On Release or Tap and On Click as the event with no success.

I tried setting up a brand new document just with a button using Go to Destination linking to a bookmark on release or tap and this worked when exported. I moved the pages of the report across to the new document, it stopped working.

I started again with a new document and Go to Destination button. Again worked on export. I added Next and Previous page buttons, stopped working.

We have three other documents currently live in the studio which use Go to Destination buttons. One is working on export. Two are not working. Of those two, one includes Next and Previous buttons, one does not and only contains Go to Destination buttons. My file is an update of a file created in an older version of InDesign. The other three are brand new documents created in the latest version of InDesign.

When we have had problems with interactive functions not exporting in the past, we have been able to save the files as IDMLs then export from there with success but this is also not working anymore . The work around we currently have is to edit the button within Acrobat itself, but this is tedious given the original buttons were all on the master page and should be an easy export.

Screenshots attached of the action that is exporting with Go to Destination when opened in Acrobat. Also a screen shot of the button set up (file name redacted)

So many bugs in InDesign!!!

1) Export to PDF (any settings) works once after starting InDesign. Then fails on any attempt to re-export. Which ever preset I use - error. Nothing special about the file - nothing!

2) Also, and I know it's not about PDF, Keyboard shortcut to start a New Document does not work on startup. I have to click on file menu and open the sub menu item New – then the shortcut works :| No error – nothing! It just does not respond to shortcuts.

BTW: Posting this by clicking "Post idea" does not mean that this is an idea - it is an ongoing irritation about updates from Adobe that does not work and #%&$%#..-up my work!

When you have a document with multiple languages and the main language isn't available in InDesign's presets, ie the document is mainly in Kirundi or Samoan and there are some English phrases, a user should be able to select 'No language' from the style's advanced options. Instead, 'No language' will export as EN and the tag in the PDF will have EN listed as the language in the tag's properties. This is problematic because the tag's language will override the document's language properties. This is a clear failure of WCAG SC 3.1.2 (language of parts).

A screen reader won't be able to read the document because the English language tag properties will override everything.

Fixing this will ensure PDFs can be accessible to people who use screen readers in languages other than InDesign's presets.
